Mexico’s Supreme Court Takes Up Elektra Appeal Over 2 Billion-Peso 2010 Tax Credit

The review triggers a six-month clock on one of five Elektra tax cases totaling more than 36 billion pesos.

Overview

  • The case was admitted as amparo directo en revisión 5608/2025 and assigned to Justice María Estela Ríos González.
  • Under current rules, the Supreme Court must issue a ruling within six months of admission.
  • The appeal stems from a June 24 ruling by the Second Collegiate Administrative Tribunal that unanimously denied Elektra’s amparo and upheld the SAT’s claim.
  • With this filing, Grupo Salinas has five high-value tax cases pending before the Supreme Court that together exceed 36 billion pesos including updates, fines and surcharges.
  • The SAT maintains its audits were conducted in accordance with law, while Ricardo Salinas Pliego has publicly dismissed the claims as unjust.
